Now strategically repositioned at $450,000, 521 South Ann Street presents an exceptional opportunity to own a move-in-ready home in the heart of Fells Point. The new price is about creating standout value in today’s market—not compromising on condition, character, or quality. This is a home that delivers the architectural details buyers come to Fells Point for, paired with the thoughtful updates that make a historic property genuinely easy to live in. Inside, original character meets a polished, design-forward aesthetic. Warm wood floors, exposed brick, designer lighting, fresh paint, custom built-ins, and a striking fireplace create living and dining spaces that feel layered and collected rather than overly renovated. The updated kitchen offers generous storage and workspace while preserving the personality of the home. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms provide flexibility for everyday living, guests, or working from home. The renovated bath features elevated finishes, while second-floor laundry is the kind of practical upgrade that makes a meaningful difference—and is rarely found in a classic row home at this price point. The third floor adds even more versatility, easily functioning as a bedroom retreat, office, lounge, studio, or combination of spaces. Out back, the private brick courtyard becomes a true extension of the home—ideal for dinner outside, morning coffee, gardening, or gathering with friends. And then there is the location. Set in the heart of Fells Point, 521 S Ann places the waterfront, neighborhood cafés, restaurants, shops, fitness studios, Greedy Reads, the Saturday Farmers Market, and longtime favorites like Peter’s Inn just outside your door. Grab coffee at Pitango or The Daily Grind, walk to the harbor, and leave the car parked with Area 16 permitted parking available. At $450,000, the value proposition is hard to miss: historic character, updated interiors, flexible living space, private outdoor space, and one of Baltimore’s most walkable neighborhoods—all in a home that is ready to enjoy from day one.
